I seem to have this concept stuck in my head. So, yet another poem named "Real"


Real (2)

This is not real
this is merely the masks they want us to see
the words they forget they are sharing with their 400 "friends"

This is not real
only a cyberweb of half-thoughts and pointless, random babbling

Here
I do not recognize you

This is not real

Only the gentle look in your eyes when in conversation with me
Only your soft voice telling me of the real horrors of the world
and I noddingly
tell you the reality of the horrors I have seen - known

Two worlds apart

Humans still cold and without thought of others
inadvertently
rip eachother apart

This is not real
just simple pleasantries

I will wait
until the words and actions
reflects the true goodness that at times glint in the eyes of man

Then I will believe
this is real

In my humble opinion it helps if we can concentrate.
Which is difficult if we are not selective.
Good observation on the pressures we are all under.
